The World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency for Israel launched an Internet campaign against Iran’s president. In a release Monday, the groups cited Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s calls for Israel’s destruction and Holocaust denial, including an international Holocaust denial conference he held in December. The words of the Iranian president are provocative and we must not ignore them,” said Shlomo Molla, head of the Department for Zionist Institutes in the World Zionist Organization, who initiated the campaign. The campaign, carried out by Arad Communications, will appear on various Web sites with a call to send protest letters by e-mail to the Iranian Foreign Office.
